Citizens for Kent Schools will host a bond election kickoff rally from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 2, at Kent-Meridian High School, 10020 SE 256th St.
The Kent School District will ask voters on April 26 to approve a $252 million bond referendum to fund projects throughout the district, including the construction of a new Covington Elementary School, a new elementary school in the Kent Valley and 20 additional classrooms at various schools.
If approved, the referendum would replace retiring bonds and would not increase the district’s tax rate. The bond issue requires 60 percent plus one vote approval.
The rally includes music, speakers, volunteer opportunities and voter registration.
